Have you ever felt like life is just too much—too loud, too fast, too overwhelming?

You’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I sat down with Sarah Boyd—child and adolescent development expert and founder of Resilient Little Hearts—to talk about her new book Turn Down the Noise. In our noisy, overstimulated world, Sarah offers a breath of fresh air and a clear path forward for parents who long to create calmer, emotionally healthy homes.

We talk about:

  • Why overstimulation is affecting your child more than you think

  • What’s really happening in your brain during those tough parenting moments

  • How to reduce stress without sacrificing your family’s values or responsibilities

  • What to do if you or your child are highly sensitive

  • How to develop emotional maturity without perfectionism or guilt

  • Simple routines that make space for connection and resilience

Whether you’re parenting toddlers or teens, this conversation is full of compassionate wisdom and practical help. You don’t have to live in constant chaos. There is hope—and it begins with one small change.

With love,
Rachael Adams
